Hi Listers.. An index to the biographies in the History of Barron County, 1922, and those previously submitted are available at the following: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/barron/bios.htm Transcribed by Peg Lamkin, brinwood@chibardun.net. Edited and submitted by Victor Gulickson. Jesse Reed, retired, now living in Barron, and an early settler in the county, was born in Indiana and there married Celia (Sumpter) Reed, also a native of that state. They came to Pierce County, Wisconsin in 1866, and took a homestead of 80 acres. In 1876 they came to Barron county and secured a homestead of 40 acres in Maple Grove Township. They cleared most of the land, erected log buildings, later replaced these with more modern structures, and here farmed until 1890. Then they returned to Pierce County and purchased 40 acres. Later Mr. Reed took his father's homestead and lived there until 1905, when he sold out and moved to Barron, where he still resides. Mr. and Mrs. Reed had three children, Irvin (deceased), George and Robert. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C. Cooper, Jr., & Co., 1922, pg. 100.
